Scholarship Information:
The Mylo and Jan Candee Scholarship was established in 2021 by Mylo and Jan Candee. The scholarship will be awarded to graduating seniors from Bismarck Public Schools who have a vision for their future and plan to attend post-secondary college and/or university. It was permanently endowed to positively impact our community; when we lift up others, we lift up our community as a whole.
Education is often referred to as the great equalizer. It can open doors to jobs, resources and skills that can elevate a family’s opportunities and quality of life for generations to come.
Mylo Candee is a former BPS School Board member and is cognizant of how our actions made today can create a long-lasting impact for generations to come. For those that understand the importance of elevating our community through this initiative, we ask that you consider donating to this important cause by clicking on the link above.
